I passed the Security+ exam last week. Now I am trying to do a career change into cyber security consulting (governance). Any suggestions/recommendations on what I can do to land an associate position?
Overview of myself: 3.5 YOE as a business analyst (robotic process automation team) in Chicago, BS in information systems, started reading CISSP book by Chapple, Stewart, Gibson.

If I was a second or third choice candidate for a role, and ultimately got an offer, is it fair game to inquire with the recruiter as to why the initial candidates declined? And should this fact weigh into my decision process?

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

Any strategy folks out there have experience transitioning from agency to client side? What roles did you apply for and how did you position yourself?

Is wellsfargo strict about entry / exit timings and attending 3 days office ?

Is it possible to go from Finance Compliance to Biglaw? I have 5y Biglaw experience abroad and NY license. Moved to NY for inhouse job in finance but considering moving back after 4y.

I applied for a role a few days ago and found the relevant hiring manager today via LinkedIn. Should I send a follow up mail/introduce myself to this person. Would it leave a good impression or come across as desperate?

Btw, the person is in a “Talent Acquisition” position at the company.

Within my first year of Consulting, really struggling with the hours amongst other things. Spoken to a couple of people internally and the advice is to get on to projects with bigger budgets and therefore bigger teams/more support. I want to wait until I hit the one year mark before making a decision on whether Consulting is for me or not. Curious to hear from other experienced hires..how is/was your first year?

Hi fishes,

What are the interview questions to expect for the role of AWS database engineer?

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

Was lowballed and don’t want to play catch up for the rest of my life. What is the best timing & ways to ask for a raise? Or should I exit to correct my mistake. Happy to dm with my specific info

Can anyone refer my wife to big4 or tech? She has 7 years of experience with quality assurance and automation. She has masters from KSU with 3.88 GPA in information technology with a specialization in data analytics. We are in Atlanta GA and not looking for a travel role at the moment. Please IM me if you have any openings. Thank you !

Tips on looking for a remote position in the communications, Public relations, or marketing field? Everything I find seems to be a scam, way underpaid, or a 100% commission based role.

I'm a Tech Risk SC, but have an accounting/finance background. I'm doing the FRM now for broader cert experience, is it worth doing CA long term in my area?

Does industry of your first in-house role affect your exit opportunities or is it just the day-to-day role and skill set that matter?

I'm not sure if I have the willpower to become "successful" in this industry.

Has anyone bought/ done the HRCI Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion in HR Management? I already have my PHR, but I’m looking to gain more knowledge/skills and beef up my resume. Is it worth doing? The course is $239 and you get 12 Recert credits with it.

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute. I wasn't available at that time so I mailed the HR for a different slot. They again scheduled it for a later date without checking the time with me.
